Re: [FT] Night's Dawn Trilogy

I've given it some thought. The fastest ships in Night's Dawn (barring
anti-matter) top out at about 9g. A Thrust = 9 ship would be
frighteningly
maneuverable under vector, so I considered calling a thrust point 2G,
which
puts the Lady Mac and the fastest Navy frigates at thrust 5.

Other than that, combat wasps are the main weapons - call those SMLs
(with lots
of scope for special salvo types - ECCM, defensive only salvos, etc).
Since
beam weapons aren't much used (wasps outrange them) I considered
limiting even
the largest ships to Beam-2's and smaller stuff to Beam-1s.
